Google Calendar

With the «Google Calendar» app, you display events from your Google calendar on the screen. Different layouts show upcoming events as a list, as a daily or weekly overview, or individually.

Bring your Google calendar to the display, e.g. events, visits or room bookings. New and changed events appear automatically.

This is what Google Calendar looks like on the screen, examples from real use:

• An active revolutionSCREEN account with access to my.rstv.app.
• A Google account with access to the desired calendar.
• At least one configured screen.

In the sidebar on the left, click «Apps» and then «zum App-Store» (to the app store) at the top.

Scroll to the «Alle» (all) list and click the «Google Calendar» tile. Use the category buttons to narrow down the list.

The detail view of the app opens. If it is not yet installed, first click «Installiere» (install). Then click «Neue Instanz» (new instance). «App Guide» opens a short guide.

Under «Apps › Meine Apps» (my apps) you see all instances of the app as tiles. With «Neue Instanz» (new instance) at the top right you create another one, and by clicking a tile you open an existing one.

In the editor, hover over the title and click the pencil to give the instance a name. A new instance shows «Kein Name angegeben» (no name given) in red until then. At the top right you choose whether the preview appears in portrait or landscape.

At the very top of the settings is «Zugang» (access). There you connect the instance to your Google account. When the connection is active, it shows «logged in» and the connected account below. Use the pencil next to it to change the connection. Via «Kalender» (calendar) you select which calendars of the account are displayed.

On the left are all settings, on the right you immediately see in the live preview how the instance looks on the screen. Use the arrow next to the card to collapse the settings.

Further down in the card are the toggles for time, calendar name, location and time.

• Zugang (access): the connected Google account (see «Connect a Google account»).
• Logo: choose your own logo via «Bilder» (images).
• Layout: display of the events: «Upcoming», «Upcoming-2», «Today», «Week», «Single» or «Next Event». Depending on the layout, additional fields appear, e.g. «Dauer» (duration) and «Beschreibung» (description) for «Single».
• Primäre / Sekundäre Schriftart (primary / secondary font): fonts for title and text.
• Sprache (language): language of dates and weekdays, e.g. «German».
• Titel (title): heading above the events, e.g. «Welcome».
• Beiträge (posts): maximum number of events shown, e.g. 50.
• Scrollspeed: how fast a long event list scrolls, e.g. «Slow».
• Textfarbe / Linienfarbe / Hintergrundfarbe (text color / line color / background color): colors for text, separator lines and background. Use × to reset a color.
• Hintergrundbild (background image): optional image via «Bilder» (images).
• Aktuelle Uhrzeit (current time): shows or hides the current time.
• Kalendername / Standort / Zeit (calendar name / location / time): show or hide the calendar name, location and time for the event.

Save the instance at the top right with «Speichern & Schliessen» (save & close).

Add to a playlist: Open the playlist, select the «Apps» tab on the right, click the app and then the instance. The instance is added immediately.

Add to a layout: Open the layout and click the pencil next to the desired section.

In the «Inhalt für Abschnitt bearbeiten» (edit content for section) window, add the instance with «Inhalt hinzufügen» (add content). On the right of each element you set the schedule via «Täglich» (daily).

Then click «Veröffentlichen» (publish) in the playlist or layout. As long as it shows «Entwurf, Veröffentlichung erforderlich» (draft, publishing required), the screen still shows the old state.
